A mutation is passed on to new cells when the parent cell undergoes DNA replication in preparation for mitosis or meiosis. After DNA replication, mitotic cell division or meiotic cell division will occur, and the mutation will be passed on to the new cells. All of the cells produced by mitotic cell division will have the mutation and half of the cells produced by meiotic cell division will have the mutation.

How do you make a hypothesis about the effect of an incorrect mitotic division on the new cells produced?
If there is an mutation in the duplication every time the cell goes through mitosis it will be copied wrong
How can a mutation in a human skin cell be passed on to the person's offspring?
It can't. A new mutation in a somatic cell will not influence the genetic composition of the progeny except in cases where the mutation affects the carrying out of reproduction. This is because the gametes (ova or sperm) only come from the reproductive tissue (ovaries, seminiferous tubule in the testes). we need something a 6th 7th and 8th graders teachers will believe we did ourselves please from me the person who thinks
What is the difference between somatic and gametic cells?
a germline mutation is one the was passed on to offspring because the egg or sperm cell was mutated. a somatic mutation is a mutation of the somatic cells (all cells except sex cells) that cannot be passed on to offspring.
What is the major source of new alleles in natural populations?
either new organisms entered the population from an external source, or there were mutations
Is DNA copied exactly when new chromosomes form during mitosis?
The DNA sequence of the cell is not supposed to change during mitosis. There are actually "proof reading" and corrective enzymes to check for errors and correct them. However, sometimes a change does occur, and that change is called a mutation. Depending on which gene is affected, a mutation can have no effect or a devastating, life threatening effect, such as cancer.
DNA code is what before being passed to new cells?
Copied

Which macromolecules are copied and pass genetic informaation to the new cells?
DNA molecules are copied and pass genetic information to the new cells. The process of coping is called replication. Nucleotide is the unit of DNA molecule.
Why are chromosome copied before mitosis?
After Mitosis, the result is 2 new, identical, daughter cells. In order for each to be identical, the chromosomes must be copied.
Is the only possible source of new genetic material?
mutations recombination/crossing over in mammals
In which step would a mutation lead directly to the formation of an altered gene -?
DNA is copied and each new cell gets a full copy.
Why is dna copied in mitsosis?
To produce exact copy of it for the formation of new body cells.
Normal cells can become cancer cells through what?
Mutation. Through the process of mitosis, a cell genetically copies itself and divides into a new cell. As this is done millions of times in a lifetime, it is not surprising that sometimes a cell division can go wrong and, for example, one element in the thousands of chemical patterns in one string of DNA could be wrongly copied. Most of these mutated cells die, but some don't, and continue to replicate, though the cells made would have the same mutation. This causes a cancerous growth.
What determines wether the mutation is passed on to offspring?
Chromosomal recombination passes the new genetic makeup to offspring
When cells are copied using Excel copy function what happens to the data in the copied cells?
When you copy cells in Excel, the data in the copied cells, the cell references are automatically adjusted. If the copied area includes hidden cells, these cells are also copied. To copy a selection of cells to a different worksheet, click another worksheet tab and select the upper-left cell of the paste area.
